LITT INFO OM FLÅTT/TIKS: Tiks are arachnids, not insects. Ticks can wait for its prey for monts even years, up to 18 years under laboratory conditions. ONLY A SINGLE, PRECISE STIMULUS WILL BREAK ITS INACTIVITY: THE SMELL OF BUTYRIC ACID GIVEN OFF BY THE SEBACEOUS GLANDS FOUND IN MAMMALS. Quickly, the tick attaches itself to its prey, riding along for a few hours before piercing the hosts flesh whit its rostrum to suck out blood. It is the tiks last supper, however. With its eggs swimming in blood, it drops to the ground to lay its eggs and promptly dies. Fra side 28 i boken Sleep and Rest in Animals av Corine Lacrampe.
